01 / The project

A closer look.

Rixos Hotel & Residences Dubai Islands is a Nakheel and Excelsior Real Estate development combining branded homes with a waterfront hospitality setting. The original release includes apartments, four-bedroom duplexes, beach houses and ten standalone villas. It is distinct from later Rixos phases with their own delivery dates and terms.

The residential programme combines indoor leisure facilities and outdoor waterfront spaces. Homeowners should distinguish residential facilities covered by service charges from optional hospitality purchases: the brochure describes paid supplementary services and discounted hotel passes rather than unrestricted free all-inclusive hotel use.
